Abstract: Online retailers may operate a network of computing systems in order to provide an electronic marketplace to customers. The network of computing systems may be responsible for maintaining and providing different data to the customers of the online retailer. When a customer transmits a request to the online retailer the request may be divided into a set of tasks that may be executed in parallel by the computing systems. The data generated by executing the various tasks may be cached for various periods of time. Furthermore, log information may be generated based at least in part on execution of the various tasks. The logs may record data on initial access along with an identifier associated with the cached data. For subsequent tasks requiring cached data the log may include only the identifier associated with the cached data.

Abstract: A network-based scalable production load test service may be implemented on a provider network including a plurality of computing devices in order to provide load testing for network-based production systems. In some embodiments, the plurality of computing devices is configured to receive a request to capture to a load test data repository items of transaction data for a network-based production service. In some embodiments, the plurality of computing devices is configured to capture to the load test data repository the items of transaction data. The transaction data include input to the network-based production service over a network. In some embodiments, in response to a load test specification received by the scalable production load test service, the plurality of computing devices is configured to dynamically allocate one or more resources to perform a load test of the network-based production service according to the load test specification.

Abstract: A mounting assembly, for mounting an electronic device to a steering wheel assembly, includes: a base, attached to a first portion of the steering wheel assembly; a stud shaft, protruding from the base and to which the electronic device is selectively attachable via a clip attached to a back surface of the electronic device; a restraining leash, a first end of which is attached to a second portion of the steering wheel assembly, and a second end of which is secured to the base such that the base is attached to the steering wheel assembly at the first portion and the second portion; a locking mechanism, for selectively locking the electronic device to the stud shaft; and a stabilizing wand, for preventing inadvertent rotation of the electronic device about the stud shaft.

Abstract: A combination of a vehicle including a steering wheel assembly and an electronic cell phone device having a side positioned camera and a mounting system that enables said cell phone device to be mounted on said steering wheel assembly. The camera faces at least one front seat side window of the vehicle allowing handsfree recording and uploading to cloud storage of events inside and outside the vehicle without the necessity of the driver positioning the camera at the area being recorded.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for characterizing a threaded coupling such as between two tubular members, e.g., casing segments employed in the field of oil and gas recovery. In one embodiment, a virtual model of the coupling is generated, and the virtual model is re-arranged to simulate plastic deformation of at least part of the coupling. The re-arranged model is analyzed to derive a stress/strain distribution of the coupling subject to subsequent loading, and an SAF (stress amplification factor) is determined from the analysis that reflects the effect of cyclic loading of the coupling. The method facilitates a thorough assessment of the performance of the coupling in fatigue.

Abstract: The combination of a vehicle steering wheel assembly and an electronic device mounting system that enables the device to be mounted on said steering wheel assembly and maintained thereon in a substantially vertical position regardless of the rotational position of the steering wheel. A mounting stud is centrally located on the steering wheel assembly and a mounting clip is attached to the electronic device having a structure for attachment to the mounting stud whereby the mounting clip and the mounting stub are characterized by being freely movable each with the other whereby the device is maintained in a substantially vertical position by gravity regardless of the position of the steering wheel. A safety strap maintains the device attached to the steering wheel assembly and includes a first end attached to the mounting stud and a second end attached to the steering wheel.

Abstract: An anti-rotation system for use in retaining a threaded connection between a pin and a box. The anti-rotation system includes a key that sets in a recess formed in one of the box or pin. The key is selectively in contact with one of the other of the box or pin, and is activated when the threaded connection begins to decouple. The key is profiled and operates in a cam like fashion to wedge itself between the box and pin when these members begin to decouple and prevents further relative rotation.

Abstract: Computer applications may generate event data based on a large volume of different types of record data. Described herein are systems, methods and devices for providing website recommendations using the event data. In one example, using the event data, a computing node generates the website recommendations within a designated amount of time after the generation of the record data.

Abstract: A machine generated service cache that utilizes one or more machine learning classifiers is trained using service requests directed to a human-generated service and service responses generated by the human-generated service in response to the service requests. Once the machine generated service cache has been trained to a predetermined level of performance, the machine generated service cache can be utilized to process actual service requests directed to the human-generated service. The machine generated service cache might be utilized to process service requests for which it is not essential that the returned service response be identical to a response that would be generated by the human-generated service.

Abstract: A page rendering feedback technology is described. A page component and a script are sent to a rendering device as elements of a page. Feedback is received from the script regarding positional rendering information for the page component within the page. The component position may also be compared with a model component layout position to determine whether the component position was correctly rendered.

Abstract: A broach style anti-rotation device for connected tubular members is described. In embodiments, the broach tool is inserted into a slot in an outer diameter surface of the pin, and teeth of the broach, which have a successively greater height when moving from the front to the tail of the broach, cut a slot in a surface of the box. Sidewalls of the broach and its teeth engage shoulders of each slot to prevent the rotation of the tubular members relative to each other.
